“Anybody like me? Oh, you mean psychopathic vampire who doesn\u2019t give a damn about human life?” he asked, smirking. “Well the good news is that you don\u2019t have to love me.”<\/p>\n

“And how often do you kill people who are not a threat and who are not prey? How often do you simply kill for the pleasure of killing, and not to protect yourself, to feed yourself?” she asked softly. Her hand flared into flame with a dull whump, and her eyes flicked to it, then back to his face, marked with shifting shadows.<\/p>\n

“Why are you so desperate to convince me that you aren\u2019t good?” Slowly, she reached out toward him with the flaming fingers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Damon watched her hand, watched it come closer, and honestly he didn\u2019t care at this point. One hundred and seventy years was a long enough life. \u201cI do it from time to time.

Kill me,\u201d he said, almost taunting. \u201cI\u2019ll stand here and take it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
